Yes, all my dogs are my babies. Kahn even at his size still climbs up (with only his front paws and head) and sits in my lap. Kiah too, although I can't let her sit on my lap anymore, even just her front end is too heavy and she still has her dews. OUCH!!!! Those suckers can cut glass I swear. They have not always been outdoor dogs. Just the last couple years, going on 3 years I guess now. (Tick issue posted about in another thread)
YES he could be jealous, I wouldn't doubt it. To be honest even the vet couldn't see any bite, or puncture marks on Bellas nose, she said it was possible that she had a bloody nose, this is where the blood seemed to be coming from was inside the nose. Her whole beard was covered in blood, but was mainly on the left side of her face. Nobody completely saw what happened, and Kahn according to my father, who was sitting next to Kahn never saw him move, he said he saw Bella moving to the bone, but he didn't think Kahn moved at all. It is possible he smacked at her with his paw and caught her in the nose or maybe trying to get his bone back he hit her nose with his face. I don't know!! If Kahn is upset he growls, which I personally LIKE. But he didn't growl during this incident. He did growl at her yesterday, through the fence when she came to the fence while he was chewing on his toy. Not an "i'm going to kill you growl, just a stay away you little fur ball growl".
He will go bananas on Kiah though. Especially over food. I shouldn't say food..........but people food. If they get any meat left overs or things like that. He will claim his share and I have seen him attack her. Then again, they attack each other that bad while playing. He just sounds so damn vicious its scary. His play growl is kinda baby bear like. But his mad growl is evil, devil like. (I think I am trying to make excuses for my dogs behavior. Oh my......LOL)
Can't wait for N day......
